The joke has way more to do with the GOP/Fox News politicizing of the event than those who were victimized in the attacks.

So it's okay to use some dead people as a joke because politics. Cool story.

Twitter and Sharpton wouldn't explode because it doesn't make any sense and barely counts as a joke. Ballghazi is lampooning those that felt Benghazi was being covered up by the media (a conspiracy). The ball deflating stuff is another alleged conspiracy.

I guess it's never okay to joke about anything in which people die, even if the joke isn't even a joke about the deaths of others. I'll make sure i don't laugh at the Soup Nazi next time I watch Seinfeld. The 11 million that died in the Holocaust means that that joke is exactly one million times more offensive.

Hey, you can be as off color as you want. I'm just pointing out that spreedom's "it's okay because it's directed at Republications/Fox News" is not a very defensible position. I'm sure some Nazis once said the same thing to justify withholding soup (and other things) from Jews.

Where did he say that it was only okay against conservatives?
